My darling, my darling
B5                           F#5
are you as composed as the space you fill?
                                     B5                               F#5
you know there's little reason to demand what cant be given from the heads you fill
         B5                Bb5  Ab5
and you aim your thoughts homeward
B5                             F#5
as if you had a reason to be gone

F#5                                  
and you were raised by sirens 
      B5                                    F#5
they taught you not to talk all words are empty
                                         B5                                  F#5  
but they lent you their hats, screaming bring back from the other side some sympathy
         B5               Bb5 Ab5
and you spend no time to wonder
B5                          Bb5
when you claim to know the answer
        F#5
why be wrong

so you put on your painted dress
           B5                                     F#5
while the badass takes your hand and tempts you homeward

Refrain:
F#5
and so I?ve heard
                  C#5
that you've gone wrong
          F#5
but is it OK
              C#5
if I think of you
                      F#5
'cause you might just be
                  B5
what I?m counting on
              F#5
just one more day
       C#5       F#5
that I must get through

F#5
well you break just like the morning
        B5
and if yesterday dont know you
          F#5
well who does then
                                         B5                            F#5
and if you ever seek me out I?ll be someone among the people you call ?
            B5           Bb5 Ab5
well you'd love to be a martyr
B5                      Bb5             F#5
but you got nothing to die for so you wait
     B5            Bb5 Ab5
and wintertime is coming 
                                         F#5
you can feel the cold drum drumming once again

Refrain:
F#5
and so I?ve heard
                  C#5
that you've gone wrong
          F#5
but is it OK
              C#5
if I think of you
                      F#5
'cause you might just be
                  B5
what I?m counting on
              F#5
just one more day
       C#5       F#5
that I must get through

C#5
well I love my country

I love my country
B5
but I fear your mother

I fear your mother
Ab5 (might be C#5 )
and she?s growing older

or so they told her
     B5
and flowers wont replace her
                                F#5
your my sheath, I?m your rapier

Refrain:
F#5
and so I?ve heard
                  C#5
that you've gone wrong
          F#5
but is it OK
              C#5
if I think of you
                      F#5
'cause you might just be
                  B5
what I?m counting on
              F#5
just one more day
       C#5       F#5
that I must get through
       C#5       F#5
that I must get through
